Apologies for yet more tiresome comments from Jojo Remeny on today's post. He is now blocked. He must have a lot of time on his hands to keep posting such hateful posts. 🫤
I recently saw him comment in a sewing group and was horrified by his nastiness. No room for it here!!
If you do ever come across him in a group, please don't ever be affected by his words. Unfortunately he seems to get around sewing groups and upsets everybody!! Delete and move on 🙌
Happy Saturday!

Hi everyone As most of you know, I am starting on the trouser book. It has been slower than I'd have liked but my second baby has taken over life in more ways than I had expected!
So, what is your perfect fit to a trouser? I'm just perfecting my fit and I'm interested to know your thoughts.
I am 5ft 11 with a flat back, curvy hips and bum, and a mum tum. Definitely not an easy fit 🫣
Comment below with any trouser feedback you have. 👇

I have tidied the studio for a special visit tomorrow. I can't remember when it was this tidy!
Even the windows are having a late evening clean. Nothing like last minute 🫣
You'll get a good idea of my work space. It is all centred around the pattern cutting table, which is my pride and joy. I had it built when I had my first tiny studio and finally, it has the space it deserves.
This is 20 years into running my business. How I wish I could have had this incredible space when working on my bridal creations!!
Thankfully, the studio was ready just in time to film the online course in 2024. The perfect space to be creative 🪡

16 years ago I made the front cover of the London Metro! Miss Universe GB National costume.
It was so fun to make! I made quite a few national costumes for pageants. It feels like a lifetime ago now. This was definitely a shock to see it made the front page and ITV's This Morning.
